Friendblab: threat or menace?

May 18, 2012 01:19

So there's this site -- friendblab.com -- that appears to be scraping DW accounts and displaying them in their entirety. Possibly LJ accounts as well, I didn't look. The site has essentially no contact information anywhere, only a home page that invites you to make an account or log in if you have one and a privacy policy that applies to account holders.

There is no indication anywhere, in other words, that this is a respectable operation run by anyone to whom one might send a note saying, "I didn't grant you permission to repost this content, please take it down immediately." Does anybody know what's up with this? And what we should be doing about it? Or whether DW/LJ is on the case? Or whether this is too trivial to fuss about (not that I'm likely to stop fussing, because this bothers me more the longer I think about it)?
